Chapter 58 - Qiao Yi Tong has been hanged
In the next hour, Qin Ruo Chu crushed Qiao Yi Tong using his deep classical skills. Qiao Yi Tong and the others who were trying to learn it temporarily to deal with the Old Lady Shen were just superficial knowledge in Chinese classical culture, they were unable to compare to Qin Ruo Chu at all.
At the very end, when Qin Ruo Chu finished saying his last sentence, he looked at Qiao Yi Tong and saw that he no longer had the composure he had before.
"Miss Jo, what do you think of this poem? Is it the same as mine? " Qin Ruo Chu smiled and asked Qiao Yi Tong.
Qiao Yi Tong froze. She had never heard of this poem before, let alone any opinions. However, the constant insistence on being a young lady and her education told her that she must not show any signs of weakness at this time, and must not let Qin Ruo Chu see anything.
"Miss Qin, I'm sorry. I never liked the style of your poems just now, so … If I have the chance, I would be happy to discuss other styles of poems with Miss Qin. " Qiao Yi Tong said without changing his expression.
From the first few sentences, Qin Ruo Chu already knew that Qiao Yi Tong was someone who did not understand much about poetry. And now, even she clearly knew about Qiao Yi Tong's lies.
But Qin Ruo Chu still nodded his head, and did not expose Qiao Yi Tong on the spot.
Seeing Qin Ruo Chu like this, Qiao Yi Tong secretly clenched her teeth, she had miscalculated!
Qiao Yi Tong never thought that Qin Ruo Chu would actually have such a deep understanding of poetry. Thinking back to what he had said at the beginning, it was simply asking for a humiliation! Thinking about it, Qiao Yi Tong couldn't help but clench his fists, his long fingernails digging a mark into his palm but he didn't notice it at all.
After two unsuccessful attempts to make things difficult for her, Old Lady Shen had nothing else to say. She only glanced at Qiao Yi Tong and asked him to make tea for her.
When Shen Mu Sheng, who was in the middle of a city meeting, received this news, he had already left his office.
By the time he rushed all the way back to the Shen family residence, an hour had already passed.
"Where is Madame at the Grandmother?" Shen Mu Sheng strode forward, while asking the people beside him.
The servant was one of Shen Mu Sheng's subordinates, and as he ran, he caught up with Shen Mu Sheng and said: "Madam has been called over by the old lady since 6 in the morning, and has not come out yet."
Shen Mu Sheng raised his wrist, looked at the watch in his hand, and was called in at 6 o'clock, it was already 9, 3 hours …
Thinking about it, Shen Mu Sheng started to speed up his pace.
When Shen Mu Sheng entered the inner hall, what he saw was the Old Lady Shen leaning on the soft couch, Qiao Yi Tong was massaging her back, and his wife, Qin Ruo Chu, was calmly making tea.
What surprised Shen Mu Sheng the most was that both Old Lady Shen and Qiao Yi Tong did not look too good, but when Qin Ruo Chu saw that Shen Mu Sheng had arrived, he smiled at him, and a flash past his eyes was Little Ao.
Shen Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows, and then understood. It seemed that Old Lady Shen and Qiao Yi Tong had originally planned to embarrass Qin Ruo Chu, but in the end … And now the reverse, his little wife... Two people were beaten.
Realizing this point, the heart that was originally hanging over Shen Mu Sheng finally returned to its original position little by little, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
"Grandmother, did you call my wife over so early in the morning just to drink some tea?" Shen Mu Sheng asked as he stuffed both his hands into his pockets.
"Why? Since you say that she is your wife and a member of the Shen family, then why don't you come over to prepare a pot of tea for my wife? Shouldn't it? " Old Lady Shen was obviously not in a good mood.
However, the more unhappy Old Lady Shen was, the more obvious the smile on Shen Mu Sheng's face became.
"Alright, why not? Is it just that I can take it away now? My little wife hasn't had breakfast yet, so I'm going to feel sorry for her. " Shen Mu Sheng said while looking at Qin Ruo Chu's pure white smile.
After Qiao Yi Tong heard this, she clenched her teeth to the point that she wanted to grind them to pieces, but because Old Lady Shen was here, she could not do anything. She could only glare at Shen Mu Sheng and Qin Ruo Chu to express her anger.
But it was useless, Shen Mu Sheng and Qin Ruo Chu didn't even look at her, as Qiao Yi Tong was acting like a mute.
On the other hand, after Qin Ruo Chu heard this, his face immediately flushed. He glared at Shen Mu Sheng coquettishly, and then secretly looked at Old Lady Shen's face.
Hearing Shen Mu Sheng's words, the Old Lady Shen became even more angry, he waved his hand, "Take them away, it saves me the trouble of looking at them."
Qin Ruo Chu had been sitting at the tea table and not daring to move. With Old Lady Shen's words, she hurriedly packed up the tea set before standing up and jogging to Shen Mu Sheng's side. Before she even arrived, her hand was grabbed by Shen Mu Sheng's big hand.
Qin Ruo Chu could not hide the smile on his face, letting Qiao Yi Tong see it, it was like a knife had stabbed into his chest.
"Since Grandmother sees this and is vexed, then I'll have to trouble you not to meet my wife alone in the future, in case Grandmother gets vexed when she sees this …" After Shen Mu Sheng finished speaking, she wrapped her arms around Qin Ruo Chu's shoulders and slowly walked out of the Old Lady Shen's courtyard.
"I didn't expect this girl to have some skills …" Old Lady Shen smashed the teacup on the table, making a loud noise. Qiao Yi Tong stopped the hand that was massaging her back for a while, then recovered back to normal.
"Grandmother, actually, aside from having a bad family background and a bad reputation, Qin Ruo Chu is also not bad …" Qiao Yi Tong said with a carefree expression.
"What did you say …" And her reputation isn't good either? "What do you mean?" Old Lady Shen paused, and looked towards Qiao Yi Tong.
Qiao Yi Tong immediately covered his mouth, looking like he had said something wrong, "No … It's nothing, Grandmother, Mu Sheng won't let me tell you. "
After hearing Qiao Yi Tong's words, it seemed like there was something more to it, and Old Lady Shen's appetite was lifted. She pulled Qiao Yi Tong's hand and patted it, "It's fine, Yi Tong, if you have something to say, you can tell Grandmother. Being the wife of the Shen family, reputation is the top priority, you can't play around with that!"
The Old Lady Shen said in a serious tone, which made Qiao Yi Tong look like he was in a difficult situation. After thinking for a moment, she decided to speak up: "This matter concerns the Shen family's reputation, I do not care anymore, if Mu Sheng were to pursue this matter further … Grandmother, you have to protect me. "
Old Lady Shen patted her hand again, "What are you saying? If the matter of your reputation is true, then don't say that Mu Sheng wants to pursue the matter, I will make him scram too!" Old Lady Shen said angrily.
Qiao Yi Tong immediately reached out to pat Old Lady Shen's back to ease her anger, "Grandmother, don't be angry at me. Mu Sheng is the Shen family's flesh and blood, he can't be changed no matter what. But that Qin Ruo Chu, would be great if he could affect the reputation of the Shen family. "
